Overview
As a leading microscope manufacturer, Nikon realizes the importance of providing its customers with system-based solutions to free the user to focus on the work and not the complexities of the microscope. NIS-Elements was designed with this in mind. Never before has a software package achieved such comprehensive control of microscope image capturing and document data management.
The NIS-Elements suite is composed of three distinct packages scaled to address specific application requirements. Each version delivers an intuitive interface to simplify workflow, and features fast image acquisition speeds via direct streaming to RAM to record rapid biological events. The software supports numerous image processing capabilities including binary and morphological tools for measurement and analysis routines.
In designing and bringing to market the most technologically advanced optical systems, Nikon has worked very hard to provide a “total imaging solution” that meets the ever-evolving demands of the microscope user.
Highest Quality Optical Performance
At the heart of every Nikon microscope system is its optics—which time after time provide the brightest, clearest, and most true-to-life images available. Many Nikon microscopes are powered by the world-renowned Nikon CFI60 infinity optical system. The CFI60 system effectively set a new standard for optical quality by providing longer working distances, higher numerical apertures, and the widest magnification range and documentation field sizes. In addition, CFI60 objectives correct all chromatic aberrations from the center to the edges of the image, providing extreme sharpness and color focus over the entire field of view.
As a leader in digital imaging technology, Nikon recognized the importance of adapting its optics to optimize the digital image. Nikon’s has new objectives and accessories specifically engineered for digital imaging, with exclusive features, such as the Hi S/N System, which eliminates stray light and provides unprecedented signal-to-noise ratios.
Nikon knows that what you see depends greatly on the quality of your microscope. This is why we strive to power our microscope systems with optical technologies that are nothing but state-of-the-art.

Diverse Line of Powerful Digital Cameras
Image capture has become a high priority in microscopy and the demand for products that deliver high quality and versatile functionality has grown considerably in recent years. In accordance, Nikon offers a full line of digital cameras, addressing the varied needs of microscopists in multiple disciplines. Each Nikon digital camera is designed to work seamlessly with Nikon microscopes, peripherals, and software. With Nikon Digital Sight (DS) series cameras, even novice users can take beautiful and accurate microscopic images. For the advanced researcher, hi-resolution image capture and versatile camera control is fast and simple. Another hallmark of Nikon imaging systems is fast image transfer to computers with its USB-2.0 digital interface. Together with Nikon’s new software solutions, image processing and analysis have reached new levels of ease-of-use and sophistication.
